Real savings to be found
Of the 769 1-2-1 reports produced by Resource Efficient Scotland in 2015/16:
lighting – with an average savings of £3,500
heating – with average savings over £10,000
k
Also look out for…
– Often 5% improvement even if it appears to be in reasonable condition – Compressed air system (leaks or filter replacements)
– Running hot – Running slow – Dirty or obscured – Leaks (hot water, steam, compressed air)
k k
– Activity patterns don’t match building services – Equipment run times don’t match production – Settings changed on ad-hoc basis – No record sheets – Controls set to manual – Timers for BST or GMT? – Controls type
– Thermostats in poor locations (draughts or solar gain) – Sensors/thermostats not working – Heating and cooling working against each other k

– Poor building insulation – Poor pipework insulation – Inefficient equipment

How much CO2?
Rule of thumb: (see DECC carbon factors for exact conversion factors)
Saved on oil, gas or electricity
500kg of CO2 0.5t of CO2
k
k Two questions from your finance department/boss/MD: 1.“How much is all this going to cost us?” 2.“When do we get our money back?” And the other questions they should be asking:
Building the business case
k
a) Rough estimate – price books on the internet, SPONS b) Quotes from contractors or suppliers Be aware: When looking at lighting control options, everything is context dependent:
So it is safest to get firm quotes where any electrical work is involved

Understanding the units
Electricity Example A 1-bar electric fire has a power rating of 1kW Running for one hour uses 1kWh Assuming 13p per kWh = 13p per hour Gas Example A 27kW domestic gas boiler runs at a duty rate of 30% on a cold evening so the average power rating is 8.1kW Running for one hour uses 8.1kWh Assuming 4p per kWh = 32p per hour Energy is measured in kWh – kilowatt-hour One kWh is one unit on an electricity or gas bill A kilowatt-hour is the energy used by a 1000 watts appliance running for an hour
k
Electric heating
either for direct panel heaters or air-conditioning units
a quick estimate that 50% of electricity is used for heating and 50% is used for all other electricity needs
circuit supply storage heaters on a cheaper rate.
k
Worked example
– how many kWh of gas is being used if last bill says the unit rate is £0.04?
= [gas cost £] / [unit cost in £/kWh] = £6,300/£0.04 = 157,500 kWh
k
Worked example
being used as supplementary heating for 8 hours
= 8000kWh Cost of electricity = 8000kWh x £0.12/kWh = £960
k
External factors
Identify other influences on your data:
e.g. degree days

What do we mean by heat distribution?
point of use
controls
k
– In plant rooms (easy fix velcro attachments are available for awkward flanges and bends) – Consider insulating distribution pipework if it does not contribute useful heat
– Avoid files, desks and furniture up against heaters – Leave 15cm between radiators and furniture
– Use a simple record sheet to record date and change made – Put dates in the diary (clock changes), Xmas holidays to change settings as needed
k
Warm air distribution systems
– Some HVAC systems can be adapted to make use
the buildings (e.g. server rooms) – Consult a specialist
pumps

k
Typical heating controls
k
Types of time control
– Set start and finish times each day
– Set for earlier start on Monday morning
– Uses inside and outside temperature sensors – Learns your building heat up time for different temperatures – Switches on as late as possible
k
– Many buildings store heat effectively – People and IT can maintain the building temperature from mid-afternoon – Try moving your switch off time back an hour
– Heat from occupants is concentrated in one area – Switch off heating earlier in un-occupied areas
k
– Office / low activity 20°C – Workshop / high activity 16-18°C – Turning down setpoint by 1°C could save circa 8%
– Not near doors – Not in sun
k
Control heat gains
– Large heat gains from display lighting and refrigeration
– From occupants and electrical equipment
– From processes such as cooking, welding
– Solar gains through thin walls and glazing

Understanding the units
A 1-bar electric fire has a power rating of 1kW Running for an hour it uses 1kWh Assuming 13p per kWh = 13p per hour Electricity consumption is measured in kWh – kiloWatt-Hour A kWh is an amount of electricity – 1 unit on a bill A kiloWatt-Hour is the energy consumed when 1000 watts or 1kW runs for one hour The cost of a kWh varies 25 lamps on for 1 hour each using 20Watts will together use 0.5kWh Assuming 13p per kWh = 6.5p per hour
k
Two approaches to estimating energy use for lighting
k
Use the top-down estimate to calibrate the bottom-up estimate (or vice versa) You have not included a section of lighting in your spreadsheet If top-down > bottom-up:
You have overestimated the proportion of energy used for lighting You have overestimated run-times of certain lamps, or days per year If top-down < bottom-up:
You have underestimated the proportion of energy used for lighting

Lamp replacement
k Eco Halogen
Tungsten filament CFL
The answer depends on your investment horizons. LEDs cost much more than CFLs or Eco Halogens so require greater capital outlay and take longer to repay the investment, but last longer and will lead to a reduced maintenance bill and less disruption. The payback period also depends on your run hours per annum.
Lamp replacement: Incandescent / tungsten lamps (GLS)
LED
k T5 28W
T12 40W LED 11W
The answer depends on your investment horizons. LEDs cost much more than T5s so require greater capital outlay and take longer to repay the investment, but last longer and will lead to a reduced maintenance bill and less disruption. The payback period also depends on your run hours per annum.
Lamp replacement: fluorescent lighting
k Eco-Halogen 35W
GU10 50W
Lamp replacement: halogens
Again, the answer depends on your investment horizons. LEDs cost more than Eco Halogens so require greater capital outlay and take longer to repay the investment, but LEDs last longer so could produce a higher net saving in the long run. The payback period also depends on your run hours per annum.

We normally just leave the lights on when we go and the cleaners turn them off when they’re done
Impact of simple behaviour change measures
k Normal leaving time: 17:00-18:00 Cleaners arrive: 20:00 So … let’s investigate the saving from instituting a custom where the last person to leave the office switches off the lights.

k
What do we mean?
